At the Amazon Cafe Bar, the Trio complain over their most recent dressing-down. Hawk's Eye and Fisheye go on to complain about their selection of targets this time, calling them ordinary, love-starved college girls. Tiger's Eye, who prefers his women on the younger side, gladly relieves his companions of their chore and decides to take on all the targets at once.

Elsewhere, at Touzai University, where a festival and dance party is being held, Makoto shows off her new party dress for the occasion to [[Usagi Tsukino|Usagi]] and the rest. Hoping that it isn't too gaudy for their tastes. They all disagree and remark that it looks just fine. [[Minako Aino|Minako]] in particular says it should look gaudy, as she views the dance party as a competition where the most noticeable one who "makes the catch" wins. [[Mamoru Chiba|Mamoru]], [[Motoki Furuhata|Motoki]] and his younger sister [[Unazuki Furuhata|Unazuki]] show up to greet the girls and easily recognize by their attires that they're here for the dance. Motoki and Mamoru tell them of the infamy of this school's dance party, that many future couples form from it as a result of being dance partners. Including Motoki and his girlfriend [[Reika Nishimura|Reika]]. Not wishing to wait for their "rendezvous of destiny" any longer, [[Rei Hino|Rei]] and Minako lead everybody into the gymnasium where the dance is being held.

Inside the gym, all are happy and having a good time dancing except for Makoto, who is standing by herself. [[Ami Mizuno|Ami]] notices this and approaches her, asking why she's all on her own. Makoto replies that her unusually tall height for a girl discourages others from asking her for a dance. In hopes to cheer Makoto up, Ami asks her for one, to which she agrees. Makoto's skills in dancing amaze both the crowd and her friends, and catch the eye of the disguised Tiger's Eye.

Back at the gymnasium, it is announced over the PA system that the dance has concluded for the day. Makoto waits patiently outside as the sun sets, her mood heightening once seeing Tiger's Eye exit the building surrounded by a similar crowd of girls as before. He remarks in an unenthused demeanor that he's surprised to still see her waiting outside. His casual tone in response to the situation angers Chibiusa, who was waiting with Makoto for a lot of that time. Tiger's Eye once more turns down an offer to dance, due to having not yet done so with the many other ladies he promised. Makoto promises to continue to wait for him until the next day, much to Chibiusa's surprise and Tiger's Eye's annoyance. Upon the man's leave, Usagi and Minako show up alongside everybody else.

Motoki informs Makoto that the fair extends to the next day and offers the suggestion of returning home to her. She refuses, intent on waiting a while longer.

Summary[edit]

Through Zircon's powers to project images, the Amazon Trio and Zirconia watch a montage of the Trio's failed schemes thus far. Once finished, Zirconia criticizes her three underlings for their continued failures in capturing Pegasus and losing to the Sailor Senshi. Tiger's Eye, Hawk's Eye, and Fisheye apologize, trying to win their master's mercy. Zirconia forgives them and remarks that young people these days never use their brains, suggesting the Amazon Trio start using their own if they want to find Pegasus.

At the Amazon Cafe Bar, the Trio complain over their most recent dressing-down. Hawk's Eye and Fisheye complain about their selection of targets this time, saying they're nothing but ordinary, love-starved college girls. Tiger's Eye, who prefers his women on the younger side, decides to take on all the targets at once. On his way out, he accidentally drops a photograph of Makoto.

At K.O. University, where a festival and dance party is being held, Makoto shows her new dress for the occasion to her friends. She asks if it's too gaudy, but they all agree that it looks just fine. Minako in particular says it should look gaudy, as she views the dance party as a competition where the most noticeable one wins. Mamoru, Motoki, and Motoki's younger sister Unazuki show up to greet the girls and recognize that they're here for the dance. Motoki and Mamoru tell them that many future couples form as a result of being dance partners at this festival, including Motoki and his girlfriend Reika. Upon hearing this, Rei and Minako quickly lead everybody into the gymnasium where the dance is being held.

Inside the gym, all are happy and having a good time dancing except for Makoto, who is standing by herself. Ami notices this and approaches her, asking why she's all on her own. Makoto replies that her unusually tall height for a girl discourages others from asking her for a dance. Ami asks her to dance, and Makoto agrees. Makoto's skills in dancing amaze both the crowd and her friends, and catch the eye of the disguised Tiger's Eye. He looks through the many photos of targets he had acquired earlier and notices she isn't among them, but decides to target her anyway. With a snap of his fingers, Tiger's Eye cuts the music and lights on the dance floor, to the bewilderment of the crowd, and approaches Makoto for the next dance. She accepts, and the two then dance a waltz. Once the dance is done, a group of girls impressed by Tiger's Eye surround him and plead for the next dance. Makoto asks for one as well but is rejected in favor of the others.

When everyone sits down to eat, Mamoru is surprised to find out from Usagi that Makoto has been at the dance for some time now in hope of getting another dance with Tiger's Eye. Worried that Makoto hasn't yet returned after Chibiusa was sent over to bring her back, Mamoru and the others all go to check up on them.
